HOLIDAY-MAKERS travelling with
a caravan have been warned to be
careful when taking off on their next
road trip.
RAA claims manager Hayley Cain
said over 40 per cent of caravan insur-
ance claims were for incidents where
the driver towing the caravan was at
fault.
"The majority of these claims result
from towing skill issues -- for example
hitting stationary objects like trees,
signs or walls, or misjudging the
behaviour or dimensions of the cara-
van," she said.
"A car and caravan combination
behaves in a very different manner
than just a car and driving them well
requires skill, practise and important-
ly consideration of the other drivers
around you.
"We see accidents where windy
weather causes drivers to lose con-
trol of a swaying caravan but, even in
calm conditions, excessive speed and
inappropriate overtaking decisions
can cause caravans to travel out of
line resulting in flipping and colli-
sions.
"Reversing into objects,
miscalculating spaces and misjudging
the turning capability of the caravan
are also common."
Ms Cain said it was important for
drivers to keep their skills up, espe-
cially if they only take their caravan
out a few times per year.
"Don't assume you can just hook
up the van and take off," she said.
"Take the caravan out for a test
drive and familiarise yourself with the
rig -- practise manoeuvres, especially
reversing and parking."
Ms Cain said weather damage --
especially wind or storm damage to
awnings -- was the second biggest
cause of caravan claims, accounting
for approximately 20 per cent.
"It's important to remember insur-
ance doesn't cover poor maintenance,
so you won't be covered for general
wear and tear if you've been touring
or the van's been sitting out in the
winter weather for years," she said.
"Taking photos of your caravan's
condition before you leave is useful if
damage occurs during the trip."
RAA's caravan safety checklist:
n Ensure your car and caravan are
compatible especially with regards to
size and weight.
n Check you have the correct tow-
bar and ball height for the vehicle and
caravan.
n Check your van's tyre suitability,
quality and tyre pressure.
n Check wiring, batteries and gas
connections as these can cause fires.
n Load your caravan evenly.
n Practise your driving techniques
in advance and be careful in windy
weather.
n Plan your route carefully but
modify depending on road conditions,
weather, distances and timing.
n Be courteous and considerate of
other drivers -- use turn out lanes or
pull over.
n Don't leave checks and mainte-
nance to the last minute -- do it during
the month prior to your trip.
Crucial caravan care
A NEW safety video
featuring Mallala locals
has aired using the spirit
of 'bromance' to drive
home the importance of
safety on regional roads.
The video, from
the Motor Accident
Commission (MAC),
focuses on speeding,
drink driving and seat-
belts -- key road safety
issues in regional South
Australia.
MAC general manag-
er Michael Cornish said
the video focused on the
message that a commu-
nity effort was required
to reduce road trauma.
"Our research shows
that one of the most
important values in
country towns is mate-
ship," said Mr Cornish.
"This campaign lever-
ages that mateship with
humorous language to
grab attention and share
a serious message.
"We want to encour-
age mates to speak up
when they see anoth-
er mate about to make
a bad driving decision
by giving them some
examples of how they
can do that."
Road Safety Minister
Tony Piccolo said that
fatalities on regional
roads were overrepre-
sented in the state's road
toll.
"Last year 68 per cent
of fatalities in South
Australia occurred in
rural areas -- 73 of 108
deaths -- and that is com-
pletely unacceptable,"
Mr Piccolo said.
"In December alone,
there were 16 fatal
crashes in SA and 11 of
those were in rural areas
resulting in 15 deaths.
"In addition, 61 per
cent of serious inju-
ry crashes last year
occurred in rural areas.
"The 'Keep the
Bromance Alive' cam-
paign is not just tar-
geting people who live
in rural areas but also
those who travel on
regional roads."
The video, which
began on Valentine's
Day, has been airing on
regional and metropol-
itan television but can
also be viewed on the
MAC website at www.
mac.sa.gov.au.
